Three players of Lokomotiv Kuban (Calathes, Maric, Savrasenko) won the Eurocup title in Charleroi and came in the club of the nine players who have won both titles, Euroleague and Eurocup. The only coach who did it is Dusan Ivkovic

Since Euroleague’s (2000-01 season) and Eurocup’s (2002-03 season) establishment under ULEB, only nine players have won both titles. The last three of them (Calathes, Maric, Savrasenko) did it on Saturday night in Charleroi wearing Lokomotiv Kuban against Bilbao.

The first one who did it was Lazaros Papadopoulos (Fotsis had won in 2000 with Panathinaikos the Euroleague title under Fiba) and Alexey Savrasenko has the most titles among the nine of them, three Euroleague (one with Olympiacos in (1997) and one Eurocup title.

Apart from the club of the nine players, only one coach has celebrated this achievement! Dusan Ivkovic has won with Olympiacos the Euroleague title twice and the Eurocup title with Dynamo Moscwo in 2006!
